    well, as the title of my thread says, i am looking at getting some new wheels and tires for my civic for next summer...the problem i am running into is this. what size should i get...i was thinking of either a 15x6.5 or a 15x7...but then a 16x7 sounds good too because it's not too small or too big...i am thinking a 15" rim would look a little awkward on my four door when i lower it in the summer. anyway, the wheel i am looking at is the MB Weapon wheel in a Matte Bronze finish...i'm trying to stay away from Rotas now...i like this wheel because the company seems very reputable...and i also noticed that the Enjuku Racing twin 240 hatches were running this same wheel at one time, i dunno if Enjuku Racing is still using this wheel tho on the two hatches. here's a pic of the wheel in question below...please let me know what you guys think...as far as the size wheel i should get, as well as how the wheels look in your opinion. for tires, i'm gonna be getting some Falken RT-615's all around. i know it looks like a copy of the 57S by Gram Lights, or the WedsSport SA90.:( i really think bronze wheels would look dope as hell on my Cypress Green Ferio:woot: thanks for the comments you all may have:)

    Skip over the MBs and if you can afford them I think Work Emotion XD-9s would look sick

    thanks for the heads up on what offset/size i should go with:) i think i'm gonna stay with the MB's...the price is right on them. i think they should look dope on my ferio with the blue lugs i picked up.
